DOCARCH

As suggested in other thread, starting new thread, to continue discussion, and reduce the issue of 'Vanilla Tremble' (…another great new Boards feature!!!).

After event, will merge threads.

Still lashing rain outside Cork city ...come on snow make an appearance

ThaitaniumM

Excuse my lack of knowledge but what's Vanilla Tremble. Thought ye were talking about Ice Cream in all this cold 😜🤣

TTLF

Rain with a bit of sleety stuff mixed in D14, fingers crossed there's enough PPN later…

donal.hunt

Bit of sleet in Whitechurch, Co. Cork area (~130m ASL) now as per forecast. Might turn more wintry this afternoon or could stay the same (various forecasts are divided).

The jumping up and down issue, suspected to be caused by ads. Starting a new thread doesn't fix it either. You should discuss it on the Helpdesk threads though:

I'm due to drive from South Kilkenny to Dublin Airport for lunchtime flight tomorrow. Am I better off driving up later today or leaving stupid early in the AM?

Snowing near Mallow and i am at no big elevaton so would expect you'll get snow as day goes on.

Oscar Bravo

Moderate Snow now at Shannon. Dew point down to -1

Ohhh…OK! Thanks for the heads up.

Apologies to all for disrupting the flow of the other thread and I hope all will find the new thread.

Will leave as be, and, as above, will megre the threads after the event.

Wonder when the midlands Athlone/kinnegad will have an epic snowstorm again. Can only really remember one significant snow in the 90s, otherwise always a light dusting thats gone the following day. (Wasnt around for 2010/11)Time to rejoin reality I suppose and get on with it, back to work tomorrow, the joys.

Snowing heavy in south Kilkenny earlier

kingshankly

south Armagh 400 meters ASL currently one degree and it’s raining 🙈

SophieLockhart

Never dropped below 34F here in mid-Limerick but that's good enough for 5 inches it seems. Snowing heavily again. This is better than 2010 when we got the temps but not the snow.

topcat72

Renewed snow here in north Limerick City last 20 minutes same transition from 90% sleet to snow ( which was rapid) . Sticking again, despite the ( slight) thaw here this morning.

almostthere12

Snowing west/northwest of Cork city now out towards Donoughmore and Inniscarra!

SpitfireIV

Turning progressively to sleet and wet snow, falling moderately.

- Graiguecullen, Carlow /Laois border 53m ASL

Cork2021

snow is on its way to Ballincollig so! Lashed rain since yesterday there I was told

icesnowfrost

clutching at straws for Louth. It’s almost marginal now with the current temperatures but still a small chance. Cooley mounts have a nice bit of snow.

nacho libre

Jeez some places down south are going have to epic snow depths before this is all over. There is going to be some very cold nights ahead. Anyway look out for the elderly living on their own in these regions.

leahyl

I’m starting to doubt that Cork City will get any snow now - weather app on phone keeps changing to rain as the hours pass but who knows

it’s hasn’t stopped heavily snowing here in NW Cork for the past 2 hours. Had some sleet early this morning and a slight thaw but that’s definitely not happening anytime soon. Dew point is -1

KanyeSouthEast

very heavy snow in Clonmel has been snowing since about 10am and that’s on top of last nights. Very difficult to move around in and certainly wouldn’t be driving.

adocholiday

Rain in Rathdrum turning more and more sleety now. I'd say we'll get another covering today. Not looking forward to the commute tomorrow if we do!

polydactyl

a snowman and (baby with top hat) was built in East Galway. Kids happy out with that!

mun1

South County Limerick, heavy snow falling after 7cm last night.

80m ASL

Temp 0.2C falling , dew point -0.1 C and falling

To the poster who quoted me on the old thread:

Was the entire country not under a yellow warning from 5pm yesterday? I didn't hear anything from a local drunk- there was massive signs on the M50 and everything. Do you think it was warranted?

ME were talking about a multi hazard event - you don't need to listen to drinks in the pub at all when the "scientists" have been drinking.

There were posters on here giving out to a lad for going for a walk in the hills as he was putting the lives of the rescue teams under threat - were those posters the drunks you were referring to?

arctictree

Sleet at our gate at 220M, snow at our house at 250M. Very fine margins. Roundwood. +0.8c

I was negative earlier too but snowing away here now.

Slashermcguirk

The ninja snow in north coastal dublin in 2021 was epic. Came out of absolutely nowhere, kids out on sleigh. Was a non stop streamer for about 6 hours of solid heavy snow. Haven't seen that much since in north coastal Dublin

Exiled Rebel

We live 10km from the Vee pass in Tipperary. As it has been lashing rain for nearly 24 hours on our side of the mountain in Waterford we decided to take a drive to the Vee to see what Tipperary looked like. We had to turn around after 5km due to heavy snow appearing out of nowhere. It's crazy to see where the snow begins and ends on the mountain. It's possible the road is impassable further along.

Anyway back home now, snow is beginning to arrive here. It'd be nice to get a few centimetres.

rooney30

met Éireann app has the wind direction change later for the east coast , which pushes any Dublin snow out till later . Any experts on here with a better read on this ??

ah yes but you’d always be more likely to get snow in North Cork

JanuarySnowstor

Dangerous near charleville absolute blizzards!!

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123020354#Comment_123020354

Only 20 to 25 miles away. It was raining here at 9 am and then changed from then on. The warmer air on coast in retreating so fingers crossed you get some as front clears.

I dont belive the PPN will be there for any significant covering at that stage but ya never know.

eeepaulo

light snow for a couple of hour, started getting a bit heavier here 10 miles north of macroom

I assume from the esb power check this is the area that has experienced heavy snowfall, is it due to head south this afternoon?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123020366#Comment_123020366

Are you not near Mallow?? Sure its a complete blizzard

ThaitaniumM

From a friend out in Newcastle West. There's no let up in the snow. Wonder what records there are like.

piplip87

Damp wet and horrible morning here in Virginia. Had a few flakes at about 3am but thats about it. Looking forward to a few cold, dry and bright days ahead. Id say paths and road will be lethal when it freezes later on.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123020383#Comment_123020383

And that is the area that was/is in the orange warnings so Met E called it correctly

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/123020385#Comment_123020385

Its not a complete blizzard. There's no wind here anyway for a start. It snows heavily for a while and then lightens. Lovely to look out at the window at all the same and a nice covering now.

CianRyan

The snow is beautiful in the lower dublin mountains but the roads are full of cars parked on the road side.

AVOID!!!!!

ClimateObserver

Heavy snow again near the Kilkenny-Laois border.

Around 12cm late last night but thawed back to 8cm this morning as there was an ever so slight rise in temperatures.

Gusser09

Photos all look lovely. Actually delighted we missed it in north kildare and Dublin. If it had of been a week ago id be devastated. Want to get kids back to school and back to work lol.

Enjoy all who got a decent blanketing.

munsterlegend

Unusual to be looking out for snow and not having to look at a lamppost.

BobCobb

Quite heavy snow here near Killarney all morning and still going, about 10 cm deep now. It's a bit wetter than I'd like, but good for building snowmen!

jackboy

Continuous but light snow all morning in west clare. Not sticking too much as a bit wet.

fits

Well there was no snow here in south carlow this morning so I said I’d head out for my weekly swim in kilkenny. The lying snow and slush started about 1km from my house and continued all the way to Kilkenny with a lot of accumulations. The roads weren’t ploughed yet but no one out so it was fine. Definition of unnecessary journey I guess but I knew it would be ok until temperatures fall again. Home again now and some snow on the ground here now.

dirkmeister

Big flakes hammering down in Kilkenny City with the last 15 minutes or so.

The footpaths are going to be lethal once it freezes.

CardinalJ

Ticknock in the Dublin Mountains. I didnt come from the car park at ticknock which Id say is undrivable/closed.
